    So they finally managed to match the bandwidth that the R7 offered?

    If those rumoured prices are true, I really really hope that AMD brings out something special and it forces a price war....gpu prices are already expensive, those prices are just ludicrous for 'gaming' cards.

    Having said that I'm kind of expecting the 3090 to be the 'titan' for this generation but if it was I'd expect double the ram...

    Well I suppose I can wait a few more weeks to see how much Nvidia is going to screw us over with pricing

    Don't worry there will be people falling on their sword defending the pricing,because Ampere is FASTER than Turing.

    Already seeing it on OcUK forums. People don't see to understand,when the top end rises,the entry level/mainstream also is pushed up,so you get less performance jumps at these pricing tiers.

    Its not like with a Veyron which does not affect the price of a Polo or Passat. However,high end GPUs seem to be as much about raising entry level/mainstream pricing. The RTX2060 at launch was considered mainstream by Nvidia at £350ish!

    I'm sure there will be too, while I'm basically forced to use nvidia due to cuda (software only supports cuda) and expecting to spend around £1000 (not exactly cheap but about 1/5 the price of the equivalent quadro) for my next gpu, I sure won't be saying the nvidia gpu prices are 'good value' unless they come down a LOT and I mean A LOT.

    At least you have some work related use case.

    Now on OcUK some are using the same kind of phrasing Rollo was using before the Fermi launch,just like clockwork.

    Yeah, still doesn't make me like the prices lol

    To be fair I find OcUK forum's a bit weird when it comes to 'brand loyalty' and 'uber hardware'.... there are some that basically want the best at any cost and have the money to buy it (ie loaded and no idea what it's like to not have money lol), there are some which are purely brand orientated (some due to experience) and then you have the ones who are the most 'ardent' supporters (probably younger too) of the high prices.

    IMO the last category are probably people that could never afford the most expensive items themselves (what do you expect if you keep saying higher prices are ok) and I'd argue a lot of their 'viewpoint' is more about make themselves feel better about having a lower spec piece of hardware. Either that or they've never had to buy anything themselves due to the bank of mum and dad lol.

    The issue for me is the timing,and also the terminology. They are basically getting annoyed when people are suggesting mainstream prices need to be better,and how higher end price increases are pushing up the mainstream. Making all sort of inane argument....just like that bloke did.

    Edit!!

    Another scenario might be people who own shares in these companies too,ie,they need higher prices to push their dividents up.

    Part of why I don't bother getting involved with the 'rumour' threads on hardware, you'll never win... mind you it must be a mindset because some game (dedicated to that game) forums have the same sort of 'mentality' to similar sort of discussions lol

    I saw it when YouTubers get attacked over pointing out dodgy practices by some devs,or criticising some flaws in games.

    Re: Nvidia GeForce RTX 3090 uses 12GB of 21Gbps GDDR6X memory

    I was looking at moving on from my 980Ti to some from Ampere but I am concerned about VRAM (and overall performance).

    The XSX is looking at having 10GB of it's RAM for GPU purposes you suspect but like the PS5 also has an incredibly fast sub-system in place, too.

    If I buy an Ampere (or Big Navi/Navi 2 card) I'm not running with an SSD offering a minimum of 2.5GB/s either if I start to run out.

    I was really looking forward to this launch and CP2077, and I know we're running on rumours here in regards to overall performance, but it really feels like more questions are coming up than answers in terms of buying an Ampere card and how much longevity it is going to offer.

    Important: I've got a 4K120 screen.

    for all intents it seems to be the same card minus some gays name on it and a shielded cover ? with OEM added to it - GoNz0.

    It would be AMAZING if...

    Not one person bought one of these cards.

    The price might then fall to acceptable levels. But, as usual, we'll lap them up and pay the silly cash for an extra 12fps over the previous gen. (Even though the MINIMUM frames is more important than having 4,027fps.)
